Pliny the Elder from Russian River Brewing Company is a legendary Double IPA from California, named after the Roman author and naturalist of the first century. This full-bodied, hop-forward beer has achieved classic status in the craft beer world since its release at the end of the last century.

The beer balances malt sweetness with assertive hop bitterness. The aroma leads with citrus and pine notes, complemented by floral character. On the palate, light toasted malt gives way to apricot and tangerine, followed by grapefruit and resinous hop notes that define the beer's character.

The finish is dry and clean, with a full body that supports the intense hop profile. Russian River recommends drinking this beer fresh and keeping it refrigerated to fully appreciate its vibrant hop character.
